I do not know whether one friend [page break] equals ten cents acord- ing to the arithmetical formula given in your circular, but I am inclined to think that you know best. Any- way I enclose you a check, and hope it may be an equi- [page break] valent for the loss which my want of amicalility inflicts on the society. Ever Yrs Henry Adams
